Wales Festival of One-Act Plays Final 2012
Following the success of Blackwood Little Theatre at the Gwent One Act Festival with the winning play, “Biscuits”, the cast and crew will be performing this hilarious, bawdy play once more at the Wales Final which takes place on 8th and 9th June at the Congress Theatre in Cwmbran.
“Biscuits” is an original script by Graham J Evans, one of BLT’s most successful writers and it is directed by Neil Maidman who is no stranger to Welsh Finals. The combination of talented, experienced cast members and comedic writing and directing makes “Biscuits” one not to miss during the programme of events.
However, Blackwood Little Theatre has two bites at the cherry this year, for the 4th time running, with a second original play, “Godfather Death” by Vic Mills also making the grade for the Wales Final.
The cast and crew of “Godfather Death” are fresh from taking part in the Liverpool International Theatre Festival 2012 in Nova Scotia, Canada, where they performed and won awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor and Exceptional Lighting and Sound. The positive response to “Godfather Death” at the LITF 2012 indicates that this play is also one to watch at the Wales Final.

Dad's Army - Postponed
It is with great regret that Blackwood Little Theatre has decided that July's production of Dad's Army will not be able to go ahead this year. We have had some unforeseen casting issues and now feel that that we would not be able to provide the standard of production that our audiences have come to expect given the time constraints we now find ourselves in.
We have therefore decided to postpone this production until 2013 and we extend our sincere apologies to those who have purchased tickets and to those who were looking forward to the war reaching Blackwood this Summer! We will be more than happy to arrange refunding tickets or transferring them to our next production and we will be re-scheduling this production for 2013.
Our contact details are located at our website if you wish to discuss this.

Liverpool International Theatre Festival - May 2012
"Every two years, Liverpool, Nova Scotia, hosts a dynamic, entertaining, multi-faceted cultural theatre event. Theatre troops from around the world come to the stage of the Astor Theatre to compete in a four day theatre festival.”
Having visited Liverpool during the last two Festivals – 2008 and 2010 – Blackwood Little Theatre have once more represented Wales this year at LITF 2012. A small group of seven cast and crew took part in the Festival performing an original script by published writer Vic Mills – “Godfather Death”.
The performance was live streamed over the internet so that friends and family could take part in the experience at home and the cast received a standing ovation on both sides of the continent for their efforts on the night! Jerry Grummit received an award for Outstanding Supporting Actor for his spellbinding interpretation of his character, “Death”. The technical skills of Aneurin Brown and musical ability of Peta Maidman and Steve Wride also drew praise in the form of the Adjudicators Award for Exceptional Lighting and Sound. Nominations for Outstanding Actress and Outstanding Original Script were also received by Sarah Jones and Vic Mills.
Of course the whole experience in Liverpool was one for us to cherish! We had an unforgettable week of watching thought provoking, inspired plays by theatre groups from all around the world – Germany, Brazil, Egypt to name but a few. Perhaps we will go back in 2014 or 2016?
